taken 3 years ago, near to Little Witley, Worcestershire, England
Old Milestone, Relocated, A443, East of Little Witley
The milestone is now located on the private land of the Elms Farm, concealed behind the fence and hedge, on the south west side of the A443. It was rescued by the farmer who owned the property at the time when it was replaced in the 1930s by the current nearby Bradley milestone WO_WOGW08, Link. Parish of Little Witley (Malvern Hills District). Metal plate (now missing) attached to carved stone post. It is probably a late 1700s 'first series' milestone erected by the Worcester Turnpike Trust, later plated although the plate no longer exists.
Original stone inscription is now eroded. Inscription for the missing plate was probably:
To / Worcester / Cross / 8 / Miles
Grade II Listed, List Entry Number: 1393019 Link
Milestone Society National ID: WO_WOGW08A
